+1 for DNA

+1 for reading to your kids

+1 for combining the two! How old are your kids and how are they liking the story so far? Have they tried reaching for their tattered copies of the Guide yet for clarification on things?

I tried two antennas, one powered and the other not. Neither picks up squat, even though I live in a large city (>1mil population in the MSA) and I'm supposedly within good range of the major affiliate towers. I was seriously jonesing for something like Aereo as local channels are all I really watch. I was so ready to cut the cord...

They have a factory powered by the Infinite improbability drive?

Ha, ha... I saw this yesterday but didn't get round to commenting then. Hope you see this ^^

There's a lot wrong with me actually. Only some of it is FF and/or MMO related. But that said, XI provided an online team-building experience I've yet to duplicate. People cared because they HAD to care. Not sure if any current / modern MMOs require such closeness.

I think I love you, AC! Assuming this was a Contact reference ^^

Seriously? One bit of cheeky slang and you reduce the information value of my post to nothing?

Oh well. I don't mind YHBT moments that much...

Progressive's been offering Snapshot, an OBD-II dongle you plug in and allow to monitor your driving. They get the data periodically and can give you discounts for safe driving.

Bet they can also up your rates for "normal" driving too!

I played FFXI for 5 years and switched to XIV when Beta III opened (the first phase I could join as I only have a PS3 and no PC). While the art style's general realism versus WoW's colorful palettes appeals to me, I wouldn't say it has a perceptible effect on maturity.

Honestly, since the PS4 client went live in February, I'd say the otherwise higher maturity level has dipped. And I'm saying that as a PS4 player lol. My biggest gripe is the ability of a committed player to solo or PUG almost anything in the game, meaning relationships of trust and teamwork aren't required as they were in XI or older WoW. There's your maturity issue - anyone can be a childish jerk because they can just reform the party or queue up for a random assignment...

Came for this; leaving satisfied.

I expect you could even laugh off a colostomy bag

That /would/ give new meaning to "laugh your ass off"...

Hm. I've seen the same "TSA gets to go tech shopping" sentiment several times here. But one question - wouldn't anyone who had their phone taken report it as stolen and get the IMEI flagged as bad?

Yes, I get that we're talking about The Gub'mint here but do you really think AT&T, Verizon, et al are gonna let the TSA sticky-fingers activate stolen phones? Assuming they don't have the NSA making the activation request on their behalf?

Yeah, but couldn't you totally hear the ka-chukka sound of the impact printer as you read it? Ahh, nostalgia...

Simple. Many of us don't get paid lunches and for me at least, the nearest branch or ATM is nearly a mile from where I work. On foot, at good speed, that would take about half an hour just for the walk. And given that we're in summer here, I'd be a wreck when i got back to work.

So, a half hour or so not eating and not getting paid. *That's* what's wrong.

How often do you need cash? I assume you mean more than 5 bucks? I'm interested in how other people handle banking nowadays.

On average, more of my ATM visits are to DEPOSIT checks, not take money out. And my credit union just rolled out mobile depositing, so there's that done. Generally, if I need cash less than $50, I just grab it when I check out at Target or the grocery store. No fees, no extra trip. Though your supermarket visits may be less frequent than ours - we seem to go go about once a week to keep the 3 kids fed.

But even then, none of my bills are paid by cash - all but one are autopay or e-pay. And everywhere we go for fun or business takes debit or credit. Cash is for the odd times I need a soda at work (cash only)...

Googled the code, read link; still confused. Aereo's conceit was that each antenna / paid stream was a single performance to a single person. I don't see what your line regarding the antenna wire passing any number of anybodies has to do with it.

I'm no Supreme, but I saw it like this. Am I allowed to receive OTA broadcasts in my market? YES. Am I allowed to time (see Betamax) and place shift (see Cablevision) my reception? YES.

Is the real issue that Aereo made money off this rather than me personally finding a nice rooftop and willing landlord to put my own antenna on? I'm so disappointed by this...
